In 1960s, all of a sudden, female characters in TV shows were capable of magic as they were in "Bewitched". Why did the media feel a need to reproduce a certain myth of the past? Why did they also change "evil, devilry, wicked" image of a witch in fairy tales and in history into something "cute, harmless and entertaining" modern witch?How the word "witch" experince a transformation?Also, do you know if Bewitched is the first "magic" sit-com? What other sit-coms with female characters' having magical powers follow it in American TV (apart from "I dream of Jeannie" and more recently "Sabrina, The Female Witch")?What is the message these TV shows trying to deliver?Lastly, from feminist point of view, how could you interpret these witch sit-coms?
Thank you all who spare their time to answer these questions..
